Random information on the term “ELK”:
The moose (pl.: ‘moose’; used in North America) or elk (pl.: ‘elk’ or ‘elks’; used in Eurasia) (Alces alces) is the only species in the genus Alces. The moose is the tallest, and the second-largest, land animal in North America, only falling short of the American bison, in terms of mass. It is the world’s tallest, largest and heaviest extant species of deer. Most adult male moose have distinctively broad, palmate (“open-hand shaped”) antlers; other members of the deer family have antlers with a dendritic (“twig-like”), pointed configuration. Moose are winter specialists, and typically inhabit the circumpolar boreal forests or temperate broadleaf and mixed forests of the Northern Hemisphere, thriving in cooler, temperate areas as well as subarctic climates.
Hunting, historically, has shaped the relationship between moose and humans, both in Eurasia and North America; prior to the colonial era (around 1600-1700 CE), moose were one of many valuable sources of sustenance for tribal groups and First Nations throughout their range. In modern times, unregulated hunting, human encroachment and other detrimental activities have all gradually caused a reduction in the size of the moose’s range. However, moose are resourceful and adaptable animals, adjusting to environmental changes and giving-rise to increased sightings of “urban moose” in some areas. Numerous sightings of moose casually walking down city streets have been documented, as well as sightings of young bulls sparring in suburban driveways. Females with young calves have been documented aggressively chasing vehicles to ‘defend’ their young, as well as relaxing in public parks or browsing plants in home gardens.
